Dentist Decides To Open Another Clinic - For Hypnosis

“Their mouth would be a mess, a disaster”

Odontophobia (fear of visiting a dentist) only effects around 20% of people worldwide. But now Jean Paul Demajo, a maltese dental and implant surgeon has decided to set up a hypnosis clinic as he has come across too many people suffering from this phobia.

Dentist opens new clinic to help his patients' phobia

The idea first came to Dr Demajo when he noticed a few of his patients weren't comfortable in the environment and would rather bear excruciating toothache than going to a clinic.

Worried about people's oral health, Demajo researched further into the phobia, as he might find a way to help his clients. The information explained that no one is born with odontophobia - it is formed with terrible experiences, particularly in childhood.

From his own experience, Demajo says that "this fear is quite common among senior citizens" As back in the 1960's there were work books on how to strap children in the chair whilst dentists worked on them. He then went onto say "Obviously, if you’re a five-year old and you’re tied to a chair, you’re petrified! But now its completely different and we want to show that there is no danger"

However people who are scared of the dentist themselves wouldn't take their children or grandchildren to the dentist because they fear going themselves. These such children would end up going to the dentist for the first time in their adulthood!

As Dr Demajo is a dentist he has no experience or qualifications to hypnotise; so he has asked a local hypnotherapist to help him; overjoyed with the opportunity he mentioned: "It is a great feeling knowing that I am changing people’s lives, it really is".

The aim of the sessions will be to eliminate the phobia; therefore the surrounding will not include dental chairs or any tooth-extraction equipment. This is because Dr Demajo wants the process of overcoming the fear to be steady and successful.

We wish them all the best.

Battle of the Bulge

"I really feel like I am winning the war on weight."

The total weight loss of my patients is the equivalent to two 16ton tanks!

Working as a hypnotherapist has given me a kick out of life; not only do I get to witness change in a patient’s health and lifestyle; but to be with them from the very beginning and to help them succeed in their weight loss is utterly satisfying.

But it’s not losing the weight which people struggle with, it is having the right mindset to keep it up and stay that healthy weight. I have helped almost 3,000 people shed a minimum of 2,000lbs in sessions, when totalled up is 61,000lbs – which is the equivalent of two tanks.

I am so proud of all of my patients of what they have achieved from their weight loss and am pleased to be there in the process.

Patients in a recent survey have recorded since their weight loss they have noticed: reduced blood pressure and blood sugar levels, an increase in confidence, self-esteem, happiness, more enjoyment of exercise, stress reduction, loss of anxiety, sleep improvement, increased mobility, a loss of depression and in several cases, an increased libido.

Hypnotherapy Saved My Life

"I cut out pictures of skeletal-looking models from magazines and pinned them on my mirror for thinspiration."

Diagnosed with anorexia and bulimia at the age of 14, Mellissa Laycy, now 24, under-took hypnotherapy to cure her eating disorder. Now she has learnt to love her body and has even become a plus size model and an inspiration to other girls.

Naturally tall Mellissa was told often that she should be a model; at the age of 13 she visited a London talent agent excited to start her modelling career. Mellissa was measured 5ft 9, UK size 8 and got turned away as she needed to lose her "puppy fat".

Determined to pursue her dreams, Mellissa knew that the only way to be accepted into the business was to lose weight. Cutting down her daily calorie intake to a maximum of 600, she would track her weight in a personal notebook. Learning "tricks" on her way Mellissa would leave empty crumbs on a plate by the toaster, feeding the dog under the table "Ill eat dinner in my room, I told Mum, before flushing it down the loo."

Before (left) 7st UK size 4 ______ After (right) 12st UK size 16

Mellissa then went onto obsessing over exercise in order to lose the weight quicker. This included a morning run before going to school - combined with laps around the football pitch during her lunchtime. "You’re losing weight, my friends remarked giving me a rush of satisfaction."

As time passed Mellissa was noticing not only physical changes to her body. Her bones started to ache when she lay down and prevented her from sleeping. The compliments stopped from her friends as her school uniform hung off her skinny frame; she became that weak that she would pass out on the way to class. "With no insulation I was permanently cold and downy hair grew on my face. My periods stopped. You are damaging yourself, Mum wept. But I didn't care. As long as I was losing weight... "

Eventually, at the age of 16 Mellissa's GP diagnosed her with anorexia nervosa; she was UK size 4 and weight 7st. Instead of focusing on getting better, Mellissa began comparing her body to the other patients. "They are all so thin, I thought, jealous. They must think I’m so fat." 

Moving away from home to continue her drama course Mellissa found herself becoming homesick and began comfort eating. However due to her skinny frame and her eating disorder she would then vomit all of the food she ate back up, later to be diagnosed with bulimia. One day Mellissa knew it was time to stop when she was vomiting blood. She booked herself in with a hypnotherapist to help cure the eating disorder she had developed. After a few months of sessions Mellissa noticed a massive change in how she saw and reacted towards food: "I felt a physical shift inside me and I knew my eating disorders were a thing of the past. Food was no longer the enemy. I began enjoying cooking healthy meals and trying different tastes without being sick afterwards."

Mellissa is now a plus-sized model for Hughes; she has worked for Evans, been a cover girl on magazines and even appeared on Channel 4's show "How to Look Good Naked"

 "My rejection from modelling agencies as a young teen nearly destroyed me. Now, a size 16 and weighing just under 12 stone I’m a successful model and couldn’t be happier."

Asda Cake Obesessor Gets Cured With Hypnotherapy

"I started to suffer some pretty severe migraines and I guess that was because of all the sugar, if it was withdrawn from my body I felt horrible."

Sweet-Toothed Adam Williams, 29, was recorded 15 stone after bingeing on reduced birthday cakes.
Made to feed 40 people, Adam would take the cakes home with him after finishing work on the night. He would then be wolfing down the cakes with help from his partner. 

Before

After

Adam confessed that "These cakes just became part of my routine, I would eat them like someone else would eat breakfast." And knew that he had to stop. If Adam didn't have his daily intake of cake he would then suffer from severe migranes due to the lack of sugar in his body.

Knowing that it was time to cut down on the family-sized cake portions, Adam seeked help from a Hypnotherapist. Going to regular sessions Adam started to notice a massive change with his diet, weight and lifestyle. 'They were really good and after a session I immediately found myself drinking more water and just naturally eating less."
